Twins - time on birth certificate

[TracyL]

None at all I'm afraid.  I only stumbled across it by accident, until then I didn't know she existed.  I only know that she was adopted as the vicar had noted it on the side of the baptism record together with the names of the couple that brought her to baptism and adopted her.

So she could have been an older child. Lawrence I presume was not the couples surname?

Hi Valda

Yes she could have been, there were notes against a lot of the other baptisms, some giving birthdates or notes that it was an adult baptism etc. but no mention of birthdate on this one.  It gave the names of her real parents then the notes regarding the adoption by a couple called Florence and Thomas Judd.

Have you considered the possibility of a School Admissions Register for the birthdate of the adopted child?  If you know where the adoptive parents lived, presumably in Leamington, it would be worth an enquiry to WRO to find the most likely school attended.

Hi dee-jay

No I hadn't considered that - mainly because I didn't know such a thing was available!  I will get on to that one right now - thanks.

I should point out not all admissions registers have been preserved, but there was a legal requirement for Log Books to be maintained.  The latter, however, very rarely mention pupils by name, but when they do they are a fascinating research tool.

Thanks dee-jay

My husband just happens to be up in Warwickshire today - a quick phone call and I might be able to persuade him that this is more important than work

Hi dee-jay

Just thought I'd let you know that hubby made it to the Records Office but not in time for them to actually get the registers out for him to look through.  He did have a chance to locate the registers we probably need and has the request slips ready for the next time he is up that way.

So now a 10 day wait to see if what we want is there.......

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll let you know if we find it.

And were the Lawrence parents local to Leamington? Have you found them on the 1901 census in Leamington. I only asked because there is an earlier birth registration but not in Warwick for a Muriel Florence Lawrence.
